The Cayes

Offshore the Snake Cayes, the Moho Cayes, the Port of Honduras Marine Reserve and the Sapodilla Cayes are destinations for some of the best snorkelling and diving trips. On holidays the locals love to head to those islands for a day of BBQ on the beach.

The waters off the coast of Punta Gorda are considered the 'Permit capital of the World'.
